Very new muse (who is obviously unhappy about this?)

[proficience]

[He stands straight and adjusts his glasses before speaking:]

I will only say this once:

I have no interest in whatever inane plans you have for me, and I refuse to allow you to go through with them.

[He sighs, shrugs a little, and then continues:]

For one thing, you are not finished with the game I am from. In fact, you have [Adjusting glasses again] 37.8% of it completed. [Did he totally just pull that percentage out of nowhere? Really?]

For another, and this one is even more glaring than the first --

You have two others in games here anyway, and I do believe that you have some very important schoolwork to be working on, so you have no time to do anything with me here.

[With that, he turns around and crosses his arms.]

[protosshaze]

Is 37.8% a lot, Hubert?

[proficience]

It is less than half, so no.

[protosshaze]

We have a long story. My mun took a while to see it all.

[proficience]

I'm sure it will be at least another few weeks before mine is finished.

[protosshaze]

Oh. Okay. I can wait for you.

[proficience]

The sentiment is appreciated, but I may not be heading where you are.

[protosshaze]

That's okay. It's not a safe place all the time.

[expeditive]

Throwing around numbers. How scary.

[Don't make him laugh-- too late.]

Don't think you're running the show, pencil head.

[proficience]

[He blinks for a few seconds while he tries to come up with a retort without getting too annoyed.

It doesn't work.]

Running the show? I think I am entitled to run any and all 'shows' that I'm forced to be involved in, not that it matters to you. I don't even know who you are, and yet you immediately throw around insults.

[He adjusts his glasses again.]

You do need to work harder on the insults you spew out. 'Pencil head' is not derogatory in the least.

[doohickey]

Lighten up, little bro! Going new places, meeting new people--might do you some good!

That's the best Pascal username I've seen yet!

[proficience]

It might.

It also might cause me to have an aneurysm.

Why, thank you!

[doohickey]

[She dismisses him with a wave.] Aneurysm schmaneurysm. Think of all the adventures you could be having!

[THINK OF ALL THE RUINS TO EXPLORE. AND MYSTERIES TO SOLVE. AND ROBOTS, HU--THERE COULD BE ROBOTS.]

Where's she gonna send you, anyway?

[...Pascal. Priorities.]
